Chapitre 16: 16. Kate is discharged
"Don't think that you now have a backup for yourself just because my grandpa is being concerned about you. At the end of the day, you are my wife, and the person you have to spend your life with is me. So stop brown nosing him with false hopes." Markus whispered in her ear as all the cars parked in the evening were going away.
"Do you think i am a person with no basic etiquettes and moral values like you. Brown nosing is your job not mine. Whatever i did for grandpa was from the bottom of my heart" Kizy angrily said.
She turned towards him and sighed.
"Leave it. Anyways you won't understand what i mean because you don't have feelings at all. You won't understand what loving and caring for others feel like."
With that she turned around and left him behind before entering the house. Markus stood at the same place, lost in his thoughts. He could have argued with Kizy but there were some things that he needed to be clear about.
For now his brain was thinking about the celebration banquet that his grandpa will be throwing. He needed to consider a lot of things if he had to bring Kizy along with him. He knew that if someone was to vote for person with highest number of enemies in city B, it was him. And to present Kizy in front of them, would be like showing them his weakness. Afterall all his enemies knew the amount of protection he had around him, but if they were to target Kizy in order to bring him down, that was a child's play.
All his family members and there homes were heavily protected. Therefore they never had to fear about someone harming them. Also all his family members were trained in either attacking or defencing themselves. Hence even if they were to face a trouble alone, he would have no worries.
But things were different for Kizy. Even if she had no enemies, that earth shatteringly beautiful face of hers along with that innocent but non chalant attitude was enough to make people have evil intentions against her. He was totally confused at how she was able to survive till today with those stupid survival instincts of hers.
Finally he came up with a plan and left for his room. By the time he arrived, Kizy was already sleeping soundly. He had a bath before calling it a day.
Things were pretty much normal for both of them. They would have breakfast and leave for office together. After finishing there work, both of them would visit Kate before returning back home.
Kizy was adapting well to this life. She had made close friends with Claire, Irene and Peter. They worked in the same office space and had a lot of common work. On top of it, all three of them had a carefree and friendly attitude which was easier to get along with.
Soon only a week was left for grandma's birthday. Today was the weekend but Kizy and Markus were busiest today. Kate was going to be discharged today. After that Kizy wanted to shop something for grandma for her birthday. She had also decided to buy something for grandpa and Markus's mom, as she would be officially meeting the family for the first time.
"Mom i feel so good. Finally you are discharged today. I will make your favourite chinese cuisines today" Kizy replied enthusiastically.
Markus then entered the ward after completing the paperwork, though the hospital wouldn't have asked him to do so if he didn't wanted to.
"Mom i already asked the caretaker to pack all of your stuff. So you don't have to worry about anything else. We can leave for home now" He said like a filial son.
"Actually i wanted to tell something to both of you." Kate said and both Kizy and Markus turned towards her to listen what she wanted to say.
"I won't be returning with both of you" Kate said.
"Mom why are saying this? Do you not like me?" Markus asked even before Kizy could speak a word.
"No Markus its not like that. Actually i had planned for this day since i had been dreaming about Kizy getting married. Now that she has married a responsible man like you, i am relieved" Kate said.
"And mom what exactly have you planned?" Kizy asked knowing that Kate would be speaking something that she didn't wanted to listen.
"I have registered myself to a NGO. Now that i have completed all my duties, i want to help others" Kate replied knowing that Kizy won't be happy about it.
Usually Kizy was a very clever person with huge sense of justice and humanity. Even she liked helping others. She would always celebrate her and Kate's birthday at orphanages and old age homes.
But she didn't want to be separated from her mom. Especially not now, knowing that her mom had been targeted because of her.
"And what about your daughter mom. Do i not need you? You really don't care about me right?" Kizy raised her voice.
"Dear its not like that. Mom has done what she needed to do. And its not like i am abandoning you. The NGO is situated in F City and its hardly a three hour drive. You can visit me whenever you want" Kate said while holding Kizy's hand.
"But why don't you stay with me. Why should i drive three hours just to see you?" Kizy had tears in her eyes. Her mom was her only family left. How could she let go off her like this.
Kate took a deep breath before suppressing her emotions and hugging Kizy tightly.
"You have Markus with you. But what about those orphans who don't even know how there parents looked like. Or those elders whose children have either died or were kicked out from there homes by there own kids? Or those who were born with some disability? I want to do something for them Kizy. You had me till now and from now on Markus will be there for you. I trust him. So will you please not make it difficult for your mom?" Kate asked patiently.
Kizy cried for a long time and it took Kate a lot of patience to convince her. Though Kizy was an obedient child, it was different in this case. Markus made arrangements for Kate's transportation. He had even booked a house near the NGO so that Kate could have herself her own private place.
Kate hugged both of them before bidding goodbye and leaving in the car Markus had assigned.
"You don't have to worry about your mom. I have already done a thorough background check of the NGO. I know that you are worried most about her safety right now. I have stationed my men nearby her who will be protecting her secretly and will regularly update me" Markus said.
"Just like you have those following me?" Kizy said subconsciously. But she suddenly realised that she said something wrong and shut herself up.
"How did you know about my men? Since when did you know?" Markus asked suspiciously. The men he had arranged for Kizy were top notch, though they weren't his best men, he was sure that ordinary people could never know there movements.
"I accidentally discovered them yesterday while climbing into your car" With that Kizy turned around and left hastily to enter the car. Markus was suspicious about this but he chose to remain silent for time being. There were a lot of things he needed to uncover, specially things related to Kizy.
